Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either
paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (a)(2)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on March 11, 2003 and filed on behalf of workers at
Kelley Industries, Inc., Eighty Four, Pennsylvania. The workers
produced molds for the production of glass for tableware,
giftware and related products.


The investigation revealed that subject plant sales,
production and employment declined during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject
firm's major declining customers regarding their purchases of
molds for the production of glass for tableware, giftware and
related products during 2002, 2002 and January through February
2003 over the corresponding 2002 period. The survey revealed
that a major customer increased their purchases of imported molds
for the production of glass for tableware, giftware and related
products, while decreasing their purchases from the subject firm
during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with glass for tableware, giftware
and related products produced at Kelley Industries, Inc., Eighty
Four, Pennsylvania contributed importantly to the total or
partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or
production and at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:



"All workers of Kelley Industries, Inc., Eighty Four,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 5, 2002 through two years from
the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 21st day of March, 2003.
